A message from MAAP:

MAAP believes in always leading from the front and propelling the sport forward, and the iconic Herne Hill velodrome ‘cross is a perfect way of demonstrating our commitment to the next generation.

The in-field party vibe, bunny-hoppable barriers and infamous ‘Big Bob’ climb (which we’ve heard about all the way from Melbourne, Australia), made the London Summercross the dream event for us to partner.

Committed to supporting grassroots cycling and local cycling communities, the partnership between MAAP and the Beastway series will create an accessible, sustainable and welcoming racing environment for cyclists and spectators, showcasing the many benefits of pedal power.

Whatever your level, sign up for the races today and experience this unique atmosphere and the thrill of racing for yourself.
